Keep scrolling to check out the versatile pieces both Parisians and Londoners are all about. If you too want to add one of the items to your own offering, there’s a plethora of shopping inspiration coming your way as well.
Satin Skirts
A slip skirt is a classic basic but is becoming increasingly more popular again in trend-forward lengths and colors.
Consider a longer skirt in a colorful hue for something different this year.
Double Knits
Why go for just one forward knit when you can do two? A sweater draped around the shoulders is an effortlessly chic ensemble both Londoners and Parisians are wearing.
A striped knit over a neutral ribbed silhouette is incredibly chic.
Leather Bomber Jackets
Oversize leather jackets, including bomber jackets, have quickly become a fashion person staple and will continue to be this year.
A leather bomber jacket can easily be dressed up or down.
Baggy Jeans
In the denim realm, baggy jeans—especially puddle jeans that pool around the ankles—will continue to be front-runners.
The loose jeans with a longline coat is a standout look.
Oversize Shirting
An oversize shirt is a trendy basic that will stay in the spotlight this year as an easy option to wear with everything from jeans to trousers to skirts.
A striped shirt is inherently chic and so versatile.
